Estate shiraz from the Davey Family at the Shingleback winery. 94 pts James Haliday, and I almost agree with him. Great aromas of grilled peppered steak, smoked Blackberry jam, cloves, and gravel dust. The pallet is silky, bright, and not quite so jammy as other Shiraz can be. Dark black raspberries and casis, black peppercorn, dried herbs, and blueberry tart dominate the fruit of the pallet, with a medium lingering finish. For sub $20, this is a great wine. Try with woodfire roasted sirloin and roasted veggies. Yum..

Sniffed pencil early on that dissipated quickly. Bouquet followed up with peach, cherry, red apple and dates after emptying the glass. Chocolate notes on the exhale. Very much enjoyed the aromas.
Enjoyed it much better alone than with smoked ribs I had later. The smokey ribs overpowered the wine for me and bright out sour notes more than I liked while hindering the rest. Alone this wine showed solid amount of dark fruit with a hint of sweetness and very dark chocolate. Thin tannins.
Definitely buying this one again because it was yummy.

Jammy. Off balance on oak and alcohol.

Very smooth and drinkable. Worked amazingly well with Chipotle Cholula drenched chicken. The combined produced almost a vanilla flavor.

Horribly wrong in so many ways, not going to waste my time on a review, so don't waste the money. Another gifted wine, so thank goodness we didn't pay for it!👎
